Hello @kartik,

You can bypass https using below commands:

npm config set strict-ssl false

or set the registry URL from https or http like below:

npm config set registry="http://registry.npmjs.org/"

However, Personally I believe bypassing https is not the real solution, but we can use it as a workaround.

Hope it helps!!
